Urban Barn, a Canadian furniture and home accent retailer, is working to “blanket the country in warmth” this month. .The company’s goal is to donate 8,000 blankets to homeless shelters across the country.

So they contacted me to help rally Regina residents to help those most in need stay warm during the coldest months of the year.

Here’s how it works: , with every $5 donation at Urban Barn locations across the country, one brand-new fleece blanket will be donated to a local homeless shelter in that community to keep those in need warm this winter. In Regina, Urban Barn, located at 4740 Gordon Road, will donate brand-new blankets to the Souls Harbour Rescue Mission shelter program. The shelter provides 55 beds nightly, as well as food, clothing and recovery programs through their Men’s Transitional Housing and Women’s Emergency Shelter.

“Donating blankets addresses a real need we have here in Regina during our cold winters,” Sandy Fisher, manager of Regina’s Urban Barn store, said in a media release.
